Seven Verses

Seven sips of seven liquors

Seven laughs of seven girls

Seven candles, seven flickers

Seven hairs from seven curls

Seven calls and seven answers

Seven starts and seven stops

Seven tunes and seven dancers

Seven rises, seven drops

Seven walks and seven dinners

Seven stairs and seven floors

Seven losers, seven winners

Seven byes and seven doors

Seven sins and seven virtues

Seven hands on seven thighs

Seven blisses, seven tortures

Seven screams and seven sighs

Seven spells and seven curses,

Seven truths and seven lies,

Seven transformations versus

Seven ropes and seven ties

Seven paths and seven futures

Seven steps on seven roads

Seven scars and seven sutures

Seven lives and seven loads

Seven hugs and seven kisses,

Seven stories that unfurled

Seven hits and seven misses

In this one and only world
